Van der Westhuizen is one of several seasoned stars that will make a return after long-injury layoffs and it’s a big boost ahead of the EPCR Challenge Cup.
Van der Westhuizen told OFM Sport that he will have to earn his spot in the back in the squad.
The Cheetahs will face Perpignan on 8 December in the opening round of the EPCR Challenge Cup.
